Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3517311A2] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a multilayer card body (1), in particular for a portable data carrier, with improved properties in that the side surface of the card body is sealed during separation or after it has been separated from a laminated sheet. Further, the invention relates to a card body (1), manufactured according to the method. Besides, the invention relates to a corresponding separating tool (20). Moreover, the invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a multilayer card body (1). The method comprises laminating together at least two layers (2, 4) to form a laminated sheet, separating the multilayer card body from the laminated sheet, eg by cutting, milling or punching out. The sealing can be carried out by heating, eg by ultrasonic waves, by destroying and, thereby, activating capsules (14) containing adhesive, by applying a sealing material (30) to the side surface (10), wherein the sealing means (30) is an adhesive, a varnish or a solvent, by subjecting the side surface (10) to UV radiation (50) or IR illumination (60), by subjecting the side surface (10) to laser radiation (70), or by using mechanical or laser engrailed edges or micro-structuring. The separating tool (20) can be heated so as to cut and heat-seal at the same time.
